From the Steuben Republican (Angola, Indiana), 20 Dec 1916

MARCUS T. MOOR

Marcus T. Moor was born in Northwest Township, Ohio, Sept. 17, 1857, and died 
at his home one half mile west of Metz, Ind., Dec. 1, 1916.  The community has lost one 
of its most valuable citizens.  His upright principles, and straightforward life endeared 
him to all who knew him.  His early life was spent east of Metz with his parents.  He was 
one of the successful farmers of the vicinity.  One of the rules that brought him success 
was to sell when everybody was buying and buy when everybody was selling.  His well 
improved farms show what he accomplished by perseverance and hard work.  He was 
married to Emma Williams, Dec. 24, 1885.  Nine children were born to them: four boys 
and five girls.  All of them are living—Blanche Kinkade in Spokane, Wash., Lena 
Schmeiser, in Rusch, Cal.; Archie and Carl, living near Highland Center, Steuben 
County, Ind.; Paul, Harold, Neva, Florence, and Dorothy, at home.  There are eight 
grandchildren.
The funeral was held at the East Metz U.B. Church, of which he had been an 
honored member for thirteen years, the sermon being preached by the pastor, Rev. 
George Seiple.  He served faithfully in the official capacity of Sunday School 
Superintendent for a number of years.  He also was a member of the Board of Trustees of 
church and parsonage and was on the building committees in the erection of both.  

Resolutions

Inasmuch as God in his wise forbearance has called from labor to reward our 
brother and co-laborer Marcus T. Moor, therefore be it resolved that we the members of 
Mt. Pleasant Church in Quarterly Conference as enabled, express our deep sorrow at his 
untimely death while we keenly feel our loss from our midst, and shall miss his wise 
counsel in the business department of the church, we bow in sorrow and submission to 
the divine wisdom and will of our Heavenly Father, and pray that his matle may fall on 
some one who will take his place; and, further, be it.
	Resolved, That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our Quarterly 
Conference Journal.
	On motion the above was adopted.
